What do you do when your work no longer fits WHO YOU ARE? 

Career strategy for experienced professionals who want to see their options clearly and make a decision they can stand behind.

You can know something is off and still have no idea what to do about it.

Sorting this out on your own is hard enough. And the usual advice puts it all back on you: just set better boundaries, build resilience, change your mindset. Just do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life! It treats your situation like a personal optimization problem (it’s not).

Traditional career coaching isn’t designed to acknowledge the root causes: organizations that grind people down, managers who ask you to fit like a square peg in a round hole (and act surprised when you don’t), a role that becomes something you no longer recognize, standard definitions of success that don’t align with what you care about, or a career that’s served you well but has run its course.

For the burned out, fed up, restless, and those ready to explore what’s next.

Naming the problems you can realistically solve and sorting them from the ones you never will enables you to emerge from the fog of indecision and decide your next move with conviction.

My job is to think alongside you as you decide how you want to relate to a system that’s gleefully enshittifying, rather than grinding to succeed within it.

We look at your situation the way a researcher approaches a question that resists an easy answer. The first read isn't necessarily the most accurate one, so we keep pulling the threads until the full story surfaces.

We treat everything as data and sort the signal from the noise: what's happening, how you feel about it, and what your instincts say

We consider the institutions, power dynamics, and incentives at play

We map out the possibilities and weigh them against your values, priorities, and goals

We design a plan for action that’s grounded in your circumstances

We position you to make decisions in your best interest, not someone else’s narrative

We’ll keep asking “so what?” until the truth comes into focus. You’ll get a straight read on what you’re inside of, an honest assessment of your options, and a way forward that you feel good about—because you’re the only one who needs to be convinced.

My clients hail from

Hi, I’m Amy, and I love it when people make a decision they feel damn good about.

I’ve been where you’ve been—15 years living and studying the relationship between individuals and organizations has shown me how they really operate, and how they treat the people on the inside. As a researcher, tech worker, labor activist, and coach, I spent those years chipping away at (and advocating within) the same institutions my clients are trying to exist in.

The Rest of My Story

What Clients Say

  • “I worked with Amy to think through and imagine my future career trajectory. The coaching process helped me make sense of my past work and strategically envision future opportunities. Amy is a great listener and provides a non-judgmental space for thinking and reflection. I have a better sense now of what success looks like for me.”

    — Michael, Cultural Anthropologist

  • "I needed help intentionally designing the next stage of my career (at 48!). Amy facilitated thought-provoking, juicy conversations that challenged and inspired me, and lit the fire under my butt that I needed. Now I am confident about where I'm headed and much better prepared to make conscious career decisions that support my vision."

    — Tine, Director of Business Development
